AReed Deep For6 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 Its been a few years since i caught the ESPYS but it was really great. The host Rob Riggle was really funny, his opening monologue was really fun. I thought they did a great job. Scattered throughout were some really moving segments. First the whole story on Pat Summit, everyone in the room was crying their eyes out except her. Shes a strong woman, it was really amazing to see. Followed up later by the story of Eric Legrand. It really sucked seeing a kid who was in the prime of his life fighting as hard as he could just to do simple things that we take for granted. Im man enough to admit I was boohoo'ing through both segments. It really put into perspective how stupid we are when we b*tch about having a bad day. There were alot of amazing plays. My only gripe was "play of the year", was a 3pt shot at the buzzer. I thought it was weak, obviously a cool play but nothing compared to the punt return from a college game, and most of the other plays. Overall, I was very impressed with it all!
Optometric Insight Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Wait, it was already on or are you talking about the ESPY Nomination show?

RevWarRifleman Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 For me the ESPYS have gone by the way of the Pro Bowl, I don't watch it.
eball Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 If there's one thing I don't need to see, it's professional athletes and ESPN broadcasters patting themselves on the back.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 I watch it every year and enjoy it. Just would enjoy it more without the rap music

The ESPYS are about as meaningful as the AVN Awards.
